LazarusScripts

Windows

Lightning - Here is a windows batch script that takes care of checking out and updating Lazarus from SVN to a subdirectory and even basic error fixing, because i have no way of knowing where Lazarus is installed it cannot compile or copy the files to your working Lazarus installation. Please save the script as getlaz.bat or some other name, however there is no warranty of any kind, use at your own risk, put it in a test directory first and make sure there is no subdirectory already called lazarus.

GNU/Linux

Matthijs - A kinda trivial script to update the latest SVN-version for Lazarus etc..

In home-directory, have a special cvsroot-subdirectory.

In this directory have a script for downloading Lazarus and other interesting projects.

Lazarus is installed in /usr/share/lazarus.

Before building a new version from SVN I make a backup, just in case the current svn is unstable.

This is done by moving the /usr/share/lazarus directory to /usr/share/lazarus.BAK

To adapt the script to your system, you need to alter the constants defined at the start of the script.

It may not be working, as usual and does not catch any errors.

#!/bin/bash
 
# checkout all files prior to running this -  so first do a
# svn checkout        https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus
# (works OK 2017)
 
# Define some directories , much better to not put stuff below /usr/ but below /home/ 
BASEDIR=/usr/share/
LAZCVSDIR=~/cvsroot/lazarus/
LAZDIR=/usr/share/lazarus/

cp -R $LAZDIR $LAZBACKUP

svn update lazarus > ~/cvs_update.log

date +"%T %tcopying files"
cp -Rf $LAZCVSDIR $BASEDIR --reply=yes
 
# Make and building of lazarus
date +"%T %tmake lazarus" 
cd $LAZDIR
make > /dev/null                   ### so you don't see all the errors which will inevitably break the script
date +"%T %tmake the packages"
make idepkg > /dev/null
